Quality assurance begins with Project Delivery Planning, Technical standards and <br />specifications, defining of deliverable items, and milestone schedules will be identified at the <br />project planning stage. The following guidelines can be used as a general checklist for the <br />main elements of any project work plan. Unless a specific plan Is required by the contract, at a <br />minimum the following should be considered as appropriate quality assurance measures: <br />• Detailed statement of work and scope of required services <br />• Milestone Schedules, budgets and milestone points <br />• Precise definition of required deliverables, contract standards, client imposed standards <br />andlor Industry standards to be used: <br />• The use of advanced technology <br />• Tasks and responsibilities <br />• Adherence to established Industry and professional standards <br />• Forms and reporting documents that will be required <br />• Compliance with client »mandated standards and deliverable requirements <br />• Statements of safety procedures for fieldwork <br />Three types of established standards should be considered for each project: Industry or <br />discipline standards, Client- imposed standards, and our company standards. industry <br />standards may be considered the minimum level of standards for a given project. These are <br />the common standards used throughout the Industry or discipline and are generally based on <br />liability and protection of the public. Client standards are those unique standards required by <br />the client for the project, They may Include CADD standards, drafting styles and the level of <br />confidence (sigma) required for the data. Our firm's standards are those developed our local <br />conditions or in -house operations, These standards focus on client service, communication, <br />reporting, documentation, and the use of advanced technology. <br />During the project planning and start -up phase, Coast's Survey Manager will work with tite <br />technical managers and office staff to select the checking program and review forms <br />applicable to a particular project. They may add additional review forms and checking program <br />Items that are unique for that project. <br />On a specific project, the survey manager takes responsibility for the Implementation of a QA <br />Program for the entire project, This Includes making sure that the project team has a clear <br />understanding of the latest scope of work and contract conditions, and has the available staff <br />and resources to perform quality work. The survey managers or project surveyors take <br />responsibility for the detailed standards, checking, and reviews required. <br />A major part of the assignment of tasks and responsibilities will be the management of the <br />various team members and subcontractors Involved with this project. Management of these <br />elements and insuring their compliance with the work plan, standards, schedule, budget and <br />high quality results will be the major task of the survey manager. To insure quality and <br />adherence to the project standards the survey manager will: <br />1. Provide a complete project briefing prior to commencement of any work. The briefing <br />should include all staff and subcontractors assigned tasks on the project. <br />2. Provide all team members or subcontractors with a written work plan including a <br />description of tasks, milestone schedules, budget anti specifications for the work involved. <br />3, Have the subcontractors transmit weekly situation reports to the project manager via e- <br />mail. <br />25E -61 <br />
